This guy was then chased out of the EPA. Exiled and harassed, he was forced to change his name and identity. He lived out the rest of his days as Toby Flenderson in a small town called Scranton.
-
“We need someone to deliver bad news on television”, “Get me TOBY FLENDERSON!”
-
The enthusiastic "Thanks for having me" at the very end just cracks me up.
-
The only shocking part of this was that it showed anyone actually listening.
-
What a terrific succinct line. "There isn't any position on this anymore than there's a position about the temperature at which water boils."
-
"Are you gonna get into trouble for saying this publicly?" "Who cares?"..... Brilliant answer 😅
-
The fact that this is equal parts hilarious and absolutely terrifying is a testament to the writers and the acting.
-
The point you realize what he’s talking about has already come to fruition. 😳🤯
-
"Thanks for having me!" Still gets me.
-
*Can you provide us with an analogy?" "Yes. It's as if the Scranton Strangler strangled you 20 years ago and you're already dead."
-
The fact that he asks "Are you going to get in trouble for saying all of this?" And the guy replies "Who cares?" really puts the final nail in the coffin of the situation. This episode came out almost 10 years ago. Our situation has not improved, it has gotten worse. It will continue to get worse.

Individual humans are capable of great acts of charity, compassion, and selflessness. Unfortunately, we don't put those people in charge of ANYTHING.
-
Dammit, Toby!
-
He even gives you a false hope at the end the bastard:"if we listen to our scientists, and if we act decisively... I still don't see any way we can survive"
-
The look on Will's face at 2:20 is just priceless. "Dammit, man, give me something to work with here..."
-
I love that this was a lesson in making news TV for Maggie. She finally found the right subiect, right cause, right person to interview, right angle, and then the person being interviewed shuts down the conversation at every point by being brutally honest or cynical (your choice). It's not great TV but it's the truth.
-
Rather than the political debate, I just want to praise the actor's delivery of his lines. He is clearly past the point of all hope, but is not even bothering to freak out. My favorite scene of a show all year. "Who cares?"
-
LOl this man just basically described 2020 and 2021 going forward.
-
When he said "mass migration, deathly diseases, etc" I got chills. It is TV show, good one, but watching this in retrospect leaves horrible sense of dread.
